voluntary collection is 0.25 hours (15 

minutes), which is an increase from the

Forest Plan Revision, 2324 E McDowell

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Tonto 

National Forest covers six ranger 

districts across nearly 2.9 million acres 

of National Forest System land in 

central Arizona overlapping the 

counties of Coconino, Gila, Maricopa, 

Pinal, and Yavapai. The LMP was 

developed pursuant to the 2012 Forest 

Service Planning Rule (36 CFR 219) and 

will replace the 1985 LMP. The revised 

LMP describes desired conditions, 

objectives, standards, guidelines, and 

land suitability for project and activity 

decision-making and will guide all 

resource management activities on the 

Forest. 

The Tonto National Forest plays an 

important role supporting and 

partnering with communities in central 

Arizona and throughout the 

southwestern United States by 

providing economic benefits including 

fuelwood gathering, livestock grazing, 

mining, and abundant recreational 

opportunities. The development of the 

revised LMP was shaped by the best 

available scientific information, current 

laws, and public input. 

The Tonto National Forest lies 

adjacent to the Phoenix metropolitan 

area, making it one of the most heavily 

visited National Forests. It spans a range 

of ecosystems from the Sonoran Desert 

through a variety of chaparral and 

pinyon pine/juniper up to the 

ponderosa pine and mixed conifer of the 

Mogollon Rim. The Tonto’s rivers and 

lakes maintain riparian habitat and 

habitat connectivity for wildlife, 

including most of the Forest’s 

Endangered Species Act listed species, 

and provide diverse opportunities for 

water-based recreation. Additionally, 

over half of the water supply for the city 

of Phoenix comes from these reservoirs. 

The Tonto National Forest initiated 

LMP revision in 2014 and engaged the 

public frequently throughout the 

process. This engagement effort has 

included conventional public meetings, 

information sharing via social media, 

and collaborative work sessions with 

cooperating agencies. The Forest invited 

State, local, and Tribal governments, 

and other Federal Agencies from around 

the region to participate in the process

85582 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 235 / Friday, December 8, 2023 / Notices 

to revise the LMP. The Tonto National 

Forest engaged in government-togovernment consultation with 13 Tribes 

during LMP revision, ensuring tribalrelated LMP direction accurately reflects 

the Tonto National Forest’s trust 

responsibilities and government-togovernment relationship with tribes. 

During the 90-day comment period in 

2019 for the draft LMP and draft EIS, the 

Tonto National Forest received 

approximately 4,300 comment letters of 

which 181 were unique. These helped 

refine the preferred alternative and LMP 

content based on response to comments. 

A draft ROD, LMP, and FEIS were 

released in July 2022, initiating a 60-day 

objection filing period. The Tonto 

National Forest received 14 eligible 

objections. Through a comprehensive 

review of each objection, a variety of 

issues were identified. Following the 

objection review, the Reviewing Officer 

held objection resolution meetings with 

objectors and interested persons. Based 

on these meetings, the Reviewing 

Officer issued a written response on 

May 19, 2023. The instructions from the 

Reviewing Officer were addressed in the 

ROD, LMP, and FEIS. 

Lead and Cooperating Agencies 

The Arizona Game and Fish 

Department and Arizona Department of 

Agriculture are formal cooperating 

agencies and have participated in the 

development of the LMP, helping to 

develop plan direction and associated 

analysis for wildlife-related recreation 

and the Salt River Horse management 

area, respectively, for which they are 

subject matter experts. 

Responsible Official 

The Responsible Official for 

approving the revised LMP is Neil 

Bosworth, Forest Supervisor, Tonto 

National Forest. The Responsible 

Official approving the list of species of 

conservation concern is Michiko Martin, 

Regional Forester, Southwestern Region.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Census Bureau conducts the 

Quarterly Summary of State and Local 

Government Tax Revenue, using the F– 

71 (Quarterly Survey of Property Tax 

Collections), F–72 (Quarterly Survey of 

State Tax Collections), and F–73 

(Quarterly Survey of Non-Property 

Taxes) forms. The Quarterly Summary 

of State and Local Government Tax 

Revenue provides quarterly estimates of 

state and local government tax revenue 

at the national level, as well as detailed 

tax revenue data for individual states. 

The information contained in this 

survey is the most current information 

available on a nationwide basis for state 

and local government tax collections. 

The Census Bureau needs state and 

local tax data to publish benchmark 

statistics on taxes, to provide data to the 

Bureau of Economic Analysis for Gross 

Domestic Product (GDP) calculations 

and other economic indicators, and to 

provide data for economic research and 

comparative studies of governmental 

finances. Tax collection data are used to 

measure economic activity for the 

Nation as a whole, as well as for 

comparison among the various states. 

Economists and public policy analysts 

use the data to assess general economic 

conditions and state and local 

government financial activities. 

The Census Bureau’s previous request 

for an extension submitted on 03/23/ 

2021 requested approval to remove the 

collection of all license taxes from the 

F–72 component of the Quarterly 

Summary of State and Local 

Government Tax Revenue. The Census 

Bureau reconsidered that plan and 

decided not to remove the collection of 

all license taxes from the F–72 

component of the survey. Keeping the 

license taxes on the survey allows for a 

consistent time series and maintains 

item comparability with other surveys. 

II. Method of Collection 

For the Quarterly Survey of Property 

Tax Collections (Form F–71) the Census 

Bureau will email letters quarterly to a 

sample of approximately 5,500 local tax 

collection agencies, known to have 

substantial collections of property tax, 

requesting their online data 

submissions. 

For the Quarterly Survey of State Tax 

Collections (Form F–72) the Census 

Bureau will email letters to each of the 

50 state governments and the District of 

Columbia quarterly requesting their 

online data submissions or continued
